Lotta Farms is a Humboldt County cannabis cultivator, product brand, wholesaler and on-farm retailer based at Carlotta Gardens in Carlotta, California. It propagates clones, grows and hand-trims flower, packages retail products and sells its own harvest at a licensed farmstand. The range covers flower, pre-rolls, vapes and fresh-frozen material for licensed buyers.
Carlotta Gardens and team
Every Lotta product begins at Carlotta Gardens, from clones produced on site through finished flower. The farm names Joe Miller as cultivation manager, Jesse Vanoni as propagation manager, Rob Lujan as farm operations supervisor, and Dunigan Gafford and Antonio Adame as farm operations specialists.
Cultivation model
Lotta grows under controlled lighting, hand-trims and works in small batches, with native-soil flower feeding its fresh-frozen program. The company emphasizes balanced terpene expression and genetic quality rather than potency numbers.
Vapes, fresh frozen and wholesale
Lotta sells disposable vapes, including a half-gram live-rosin format, and supplies fresh-frozen cannabis to licensed extraction partners. It also offers bulk flower, white-label and private-label services, limited to California licensees.
Strain library
Pink Z, Orange Cherry Gelato, Super Silver Haze, Lotta Pineapple, Sour Cherry Berry, Jelly Donutz, TerpGazm, Lemon Cherry Gelato, Runtz, Papaya Mosa and Zours appear across Lotta's product history. The brand files strains under experience labels: Calm, Energy, Balance, Creative, Smile and Blackout.
Farmstand and retail access
The farmstand operates at 6287 Highway 36 in Carlotta, within walking distance of the cultivation site, open 10 AM to 6 PM daily. Lotta describes it as the first farm cannabis farmstand in California. Packaged flower ships in 3.5, 7, 14 and 28 gram bags and 7 gram jars, alongside single one-gram pre-rolls and half-gram multipacks.
Testing and compliance
All products are tested by state-licensed third-party laboratories under California Department of Cannabis Control rules, with potency printed on certificates of analysis and on the label.
2025 California awards
At the 2025 California Cannabis Awards, Lotta took four mixed-light flower terpene medals: silver for Pink Z in limonene, bronze for Pink Z in pinene, bronze for Pink Z in terpinolene, and bronze for Orange Cherry Gelato in pinene.
The farmstand makes Lotta unusual, but it remains a licensed cannabis retailer rather than an ordinary roadside produce stand. Its address is 6287 Highway 36 in Carlotta, and shopping and promotional forms are restricted to adults who are legally eligible. Inventory and deals can change, and submitting a preorder form does not guarantee a product is available.
From cultivation to retail
Lotta combines propagation, cultivation, hand trimming, packaged products, wholesale material and direct retail at one farm location. Its catalog separates dry flower, pre-rolls, vapes and fresh-frozen inputs for licensed buyers. Those categories should not be collapsed: a live-rosin vape may involve processing beyond the farm even when the starting material came from Carlotta Gardens.
Current news and awards
Lotta published multiple dated 2026 articles about the Carlotta farmstand, wholesale purchasing and cultivation. The 2025 California Cannabis Awards also list terpene-category medals for Lotta products. Awards apply to submitted samples in named categories; a retail package and its batch laboratory result describe the product actually offered for sale.
